Economic crisis may be of govt making: Chidambaram

Home Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday said while some of the difficulties on the economic front may be of government's making, most of them are due to international situation.

"UPA-II has gone through some difficulties. Some of the difficulties may be of our own making. Most of the difficulties (on the economic front) are because of the international situation," he said in an address to Congress workers and leaders at Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee office.

Chidambaram, himself a former Finance Minister, said UPA-I had a splendid record (on the economic front) and the GDP grew by an average 8.5 per cent in those five years.
